Thanks Troy! Those ladybugs were HUGE, they had eaten an entire plant so no wonder I usually see the green blow flies around but I'd never seen a blue one before so it was quite a treat!

And the fly pr0n I happened to see on a leaf up in a tree so I decided to get a sturdy plastic chair and stand on it to get a shot. At one point it sunk into the ground and I had to leap off the chair before I would have gone crashing painfully into the garden (not to mention I was using 64mm of extension tubes so my aperture was almost non-existant). All for the love of macro, right?
